Anyone who was a child or has children or grandchildren has to be familiar with the word “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”. The old time favorite of Mary Poppins singing that song along with many other catchy tunes puts me back in the years of being a young girl growing up watching Mary Poppins along with many other musicals. This past February my parents took Josh and I to New York for the day to see Mary Poppins. While we all wanted to see this show, there was also a hidden agenda of Baby Lima hearing all the tunes ((for as doctors have come to learn, babies can hear from w/in the womb)).
Leaving Pottstown bright and early, we drove to Secaucus Station in Northern NJ where we took a train into Manhattan. Once arriving in Manhattan, a bathroom was top priority ((as any other pregnant person would confirm a bathroom is needed every 15-20 minutes)). Once locating a bathroom, within Borders Books, I had to wait a good 15-20 minutes to reach the front of the line as there were only 2 stalls in the restroom. While I was in the bathroom, Mom and Dad were outside keeping an eye out for Michelle and Dave. Michelle is my Mom’s cousins’ daughter and Dave is her husband. They live in NY and since we were up for the day they agreed to meet us for coffee and breakfast. Once we all gathered together, it was decided that Michelle, Dave, Josh and myself would go enjoy breakfast while Mom and Dad ventured to purchase tickets for Mary Poppins or whatever show they could get 4 tickets to.
After enjoying a nice breakfast with Michelle and Dave, we ventured towards Mom and Dad. Dave decided to stop and have his passport photo taken which really is a story in itself. A funny experience that we all thought would only take about 5 minutes turned in to an unforgettable photo shoot!
Reaching the theater we had some enjoyment in taking each others pictures with Mary Poppins. We managed to take some pictures of our time with Mary before the show.
The show was incredible!!! Really, I never thought I would see a show that was comparable to The Lion King, as The Lion King really was top notch. Mary Poppins ranks right up there with The Lion King. The acting, music and props were spot on and kept your focus and interest during the entire show.
Thank you Mom and Dad for a fun day in NY City. It was fun to spend the time together and be able to see such a great show. We will always be able to tell our little Lima about her first NY show being Mary Poppins!
